A shot
from last night from the new waterfront in front of
theOlympicVillageconstruction. I
went out to shoot theSymphony of Firefireworks last
night but the shots I took on the way home were
way more fun.

As the summer finally hits in all its glory, I am
swamped with work. I am convinced though, that I
live in the best place in the world. My fascination
with Vancouver's old buildings continues, while new
ones pop up all over the place.

Here are some shots of the world around me. More
coming soon. I love the Canon g9 more every day.

So I've been dying to shoot on our rooftop patio
ever since I moved in, and yesterday was the first
day that I had enough time and the weather
cooperated. Dave and Keith were in the
neighbourhood so they got to be my first victims.
Thanks guys!

We did a couple different set ups and it was good
fun. I learned a thing or two about the space and
I'm stoked to do more. How did we do?

So I've been back in the office due to some cloudy
weather and it's been good to take care of some
chores, get in touch with some people, and do some
work on the site. Unfortunately I pretty much had
to rebuild it after messing around with some things
that I should never mess with...

Going through shots from the last month has been
super fun and I've already had some people asking
to get their hands on them. Patience will be
rewarded. All shall be revealed in good time.

I always have my G9 with me and as a result I've
been shooting tons of stuff on the street. Taken on
their own, each shot has a short story, but when
you see them develop over the course of a couple
weeks they begin to show bigger themes. It's
interesting. At least to me. I'll post a bunch next
time.

This is the view from my house. All week I have
been watching it snow and snow. I've been riding a
lot too, having some really good days with some
really good people.

When I was living in California and working in the
office, people would ask me what I missed about
Canada and I would always say, the time from
opening day until Christmas. That's when the storms
hit and the crowds are still small, when the
pressure to shoot hasn't gotten too hectic yet and
I get to ride my ass off. Well after the mountain
opened we had a couple weeks where the snow where
it didn't snow and I started to question the whole
Early season myth that I had been building in my
head. Luckily the snow came and just in time. I
feel like I have gotten my legs back now and I am
ready to dive into shooting now. I've gotten it out
of my system once again. It was worth it.

Where ya been? I haven’t seen you in awhile. Been
busy? Happy? Good. Nice to hear. Me? Oh man, so
much going on.

I’m moving. Oh you heard. Ya I’m moving back to
Canada. No, probably not Whistler. Vancouver. Ya, I
have lots of friends there and I haven’t lived
there since I was a teenager, so I’m pretty excited
about it. I’m loving the city these days. Vancouver
is amazing.

I’m getting married too. To T. I know, it’s still
really new. Well thanks, I’m stoked too. She
proposed just before we drove down to California.
No, she’s not here now, in Honduras. I dropped them
at LAX and she took Pammy down and taught her to
dive. They’re having an awesome time. They saw a
frickin sawfish. How is that? I know! I would be
too. She’ll be back here at the end of the month.
She’s going to help me pack up my stuff.

The mag? Oh it’s doing well, that’s why I feel ok
about heading home. I’m showing Crispin Cannon the
ropes right now. He has a month to learn how all
this works, and then he’s on his own! Ya, I’ll
still shoot for FSM, I just want more outside time
and less office time. Thanks. That’s nice of you to
say. Well ya, we worked really hard on it. Colin is
good. Finished his book. He’s shopping it around
right now.
